The D10 Wasteland encounter table
d100 = 1
D10=1:A dragon's hoard is located in the middle of a clearing in the forest. However, the dragon is nowhere to be seen. The party must decide if they want to risk taking some of the treasure or leave it be.
D10=2:A giant sandstorm approaches, bringing with it deadly winds and blinding sand. The party must race against the storm to find shelter or risk getting lost in the wasteland.
D10=3:A group of 2d4+2 soldiers marching along the road.
D10=4:A group of 1d8+6 bandits are riding overland in carts and carriages. They are heading toward a town called Bridgewater. They will not attack unless attacked.
D10=5:The players encounter a band of robed travelers huddled around an ornate mirror showing reflections of another dimension where their wishes come true. These 2d8 Reflections are mirror-bound souls seeking release from their crystalline prison. Players are tempted to bargain with these souls, risking becoming reflections themselves. Success reveals places of hidden power entwined with their deepest desires, though at a cost.
D10=6:A group of friendly centaurs invite the party to their village for a feast and games. However, they are secretly hiding something that they don't want the party to find out.
D10=7:Three warlocks styled as fashion critics emerge, severed heads on belts, wielding staves that project psychotic fashion critiques. Humor them for magical garments with quirky enchantments, or reject them and face spell flings aiming to “redecorate” players’ appearances in grotesque styles.
D10=8:Amid the endless plains, the players discover a colossal stone clock half-buried in the sand. Each hour, a different portion of the clock emits a melodious chime that resonates across the Wasteland, summoning ethereal beings known as Timekeepers. These spectral figures offer to grant the players knowledge of future events or the power to alter recent past decisions, but in return, they require a portion of the player's life essence.
D10=9:A patrol of 2d4+2 mounted soldiers marching along the road.
D10=10:A group of mercenaries hired by a local lord are causing havoc in the area. The party must stop them and earn the gratitude of the villagers.
d100 = 2
D10=1:A group of mutated plants suddenly comes to life and attacks the party. The plants are resistant to non-magical weapons and can even heal themselves by absorbing sunlight.
D10=2:Discovering a bottomless well, your attempts to draw water bring forth a wraith-like creature. Its touch freezes life around it, and the well itself holds complex mechanical secrets leading to a hidden underground base of a forgotten faction.
D10=3:A group of lizard men who are stealing food from a nearby village. They have 2d6+2 lizard men. The barn is filled with 20 sacks of wheat, 20 sacks of barley, 100 cabbages, 200 carrots, and 20 bales of hay. The lizard men have tied up the farmers and have taken their money and food.
D10=4:A group of 4d12 ghouls is riding a giant giant slug. The slug is carrying almost 10 times its weight. The party can make it out to be a giant slug with a cage on its back. The giant slug is 25 feet long. The party can try to kill off the ghouls before they attack them or wait until they attack them.
D10=5:A group of three gnome inventors, clad in hastily fashioned makeshift armor, are testing an "invincible Wasteland walker." Its many legs flail chaotically, achieving nothing. Between cries for help and exploding gears, they offer players a chance to repair it. Success means a shield against Wasteland creatures, failure results in monumental explosions attracting five Wasteland ogres.
D10=6:Shivering cold winds blow over what seems like a lone obelisk adorned with etched runes hinting at dark sorcery. Approaching it awakens bonded stone golems. Defeating 1d4 golems reveals excavation instructions hiding beneath the obelisk’s surface.
D10=7:Cross-eyed lion
D10=8:Three cursed merchant ghosts haunt a crossroads demanding justice for their unjust deaths. The players can investigate the ancient crime or become part of the crossroads’ haunting ensemble.

d100 = 3
D10=1:A group of 1d10+2 vultures circle around the party, but they will not attack.

D10=2:A group of 2d6+2 bandits that are trying to rob 2d6+2 farmers.
D10=3:A group of 1d6+2 halflings who are traveling in caravans to trade with nearby towns

D10=5:A group of 1d6+2-sized conniptions that are trying to pick on a group of 2d6+1-sized giants. If the conniptions attack the giants, the giants will fight back.
D10=6:A prisoner is being transported by a group of soldiers, but upon closer inspection, the prisoner is actually a powerful and dangerous demon in human form. The players must make a decision to help the soldiers or release the captive demon.
D10=7:Amidst towering pillars of salt swept by gale-force winds, the remnants of an ancient sea deity’s temple can be found. The temple houses ancient tomes that can tame the wrath of sea and storm. Breaking into the inner sanctum requires overcoming the ancient sea guardians and deciphering riddles of sunken civilizations.
D10=8:You see a foul mutant warrior with one human hand and one giant claw coming out of the middle of its chest. The mutant attacks the party with its giant claw and it is almost impossible to hit him. If a player can use an action point to attack him in a different part of his body, they will discover that his one hand is a vulnerable target. If the players don't destroy his one hand, they will be attacked by him again until they destroy his hand. If they do destroy his hand, he will run.
D10=9:In the distance, you see a massive tower made entirely out of scrap metal and debris. As you explore, you realize it is actually a home for a group of giant mutants who worship a powerful deity of destruction. If you can prove yourself in battle, they may offer you a chance to join them.
D10=10:Aram, a male human, is sitting by the road about 1 hour from sunset as he awaits for his friends to catch up. He says that he was walking down the road when he saw 3 wolves attack his friends. He says he didn't have time to do anything and hid behind a tree and waited for them to go by. He is currently staying at an inn in Crowthorne. He used to be a warrior, but now he is only a cook. He will be wearing armor and will have a sword with him. He will not say where he got the items.

The item is a magic ring that once belonged to a king. This king was killed by the party. The ring has the power to control animals. The party tried to take the ring before, but they had to fight monsters to get it. The ring is now in the possession of a shepherd. The shepherd owns a flock of 15 sheep. The shepherd has the ring tied around his neck.
D10=3:The party comes across an abandoned mine with rumors of a valuable gem hidden deep within.

D10=6:In the heart of the Wasteland, the players encounter a giant hourglass embedded into the ground, with sand swirling inside it. They quickly realize that time flows differently around it, causing them to age rapidly or regress to childhood randomly. The hourglass is guarded by 2d4 temporal wraiths, who feed on the time energy. Maesters from a distant city once used it for experiments, but now it serves as a twisted relic.
D10=7:The party sees a group of eight rangers who are hunting. They are walking along the road, looking for game. It is unknown what they will do if they see the party.

D10=10:A gnome in a little house is looking for people to help defend his house.
d100 = 5
D10=1:A group of five black-robed figures emerge from the sand and approach the party. If asked, they will explain that they are traveling from a nearby city to study the effects of the location on magic.
D10=2:A herd of wild horses grazes in a verdant field. Capturing one may provide a swift mount, but risks an encounter with 1d4 territorial centaurs.
D10=3:A flock of 3d10 sentient tumbleweeds zip by, gossiping about last month's dust storm and knitting scarves out of tumbleweed fibers. They’ll trade dirt on local gossip for a favor: find them some non-prickly soil to nest in.
D10=4:A dragon the size of a dog asks for directions to the Mountain of Modesty where it's supposed to learn the value of humility. If pointed in the right direction, it may offer tiny but precious favors.
D10=5:The sound of drums can be heard in the distance. A group of 1d8 Goblins are dancing in a circle around an evil human cleric named The Giggler. He is a very short human with a gap in his front teeth. He is holding out his hands and muttering an ancient language. A red glow can be seen in his eyes. He is speaking to his dark god, Zernac, and he is asking for power to destroy the party.
D10=6:A heavily armed orc is taking a bath. He has a set of armor and a set of weapons. He has 100 gold pieces and a magic potion. He is part of the orc tribe that lives in the area, but he wanders about the region.
D10=7:A band of mysterious metal men are traveling down the road, looking for a town. They will attack the party if they aren't cautious, as they walk down the road, looking for a town. They appear to be humanoid and will attack the party with spells and attacks if they are provided with no food or treasure and/or attacked.
D10=8:You sense a faint, strange magic a few days of travel away from the village where you are staying. The party must find the source of it. The magic will lead the party to a large mountain with a huge cavern entrance, which the party must go up to reach the source. Inside the cavern is the home of a group of kobolds that use their magic to steal the player characters items so they can later use them as they see fit. They only take items that they can use. They will keep the items and trade them with other kobolds for weapons and armor. The kobolds have stolen items that are worth 15,000 gold.
D10=9:Gostick are lumbering creatures that live in the plains of the world. They are not undead and are not evil.

D10=10:You come across a group of pilgrims on their way to a holy site to worship a deific entity. However, they are being ambushed by a group of bandits.

d100 = 6
D10=1:Sages from a distant arcane university, six of them, seek proof of energy anomalies via invasive tests on "adventurers". Engage in their pseudo-scientific quiz; compliance brings temporary enhancements, rebellion turns them into deranged spellcasters wildly flinging destructive magic.
D10=2:Oasis. The party finds an oasis surrounded by a forest. It is 7 miles wide and has a stream running through it. The oasis has a small city on one side, but the rest of the area is covered in sand and a few trees. The stream has fish in it. Fish can be caught for food. If a person drinks from the stream, the water will heal all wounds and remove diseases from it. This water can also completely heal any creature that drinks from the stream.

D10=6:The players encounter a debating team of 2d6 cockatrices arguing about crossing roads. Each side is dead-set (pun intended) on winning. Mediation might earn an unlikely alliance and perhaps an amusing pseudo-intellectual cockatrice professor.

D10=6:A tentacle creature is lurking in a nearby river.

They offer a reward of 1gp a day to any adventurers willing to fight the bugs, spiders and small dragons, who made their home in the unnamed dungeon. The dungeon is currently being attacked by a host of adventurers, because the dungeon had been sealed by a powerful warlock. The warlock is now dead, so the dungeon is no longer sealed. It is, however, filled with the remains of many adventurers. It is rumored that the dungeon is filled with wealth. The dungeon is located to the south-east of town, in the middle of a grassy plain, between a pond of poisonous water and a forest. The pond is next to an old palace, which is home to a host of evil frogs and rats. The palace, which is made of marble and glass, is surrounded by a moat of rancid, and poison water. The palace has many open windows and broken bridges. If a character rings the doorbell and asks the guard, they will be shown the way to an underground entrance, unless they have been involved in the dungeon's recent battles. If the party finds that the underground entrance has been destroyed, they will have to go on a long quest to find the key which unlocks the door. if the adventurers decide to search for the key, it can be found in the treasure there, one key for every adventurer who wishes to enter the dungeon. The key should be hidden in an obscure location, such as in another room in the dungeon. The party should be given something like mood lighting or a relatively comfortable bed to encourage them to rest for four hours so that their maximum hit points will be increased for when they fight in their first battles in the dungeon. If a party member dies in battle, a mausoleum should be constructed at the top of a nearby hill to be used as a memorial for the member. The DM should stress that adventurers who do not rest will not be able to defeat the monsters they encounter.

They are surrounded by the goblins, who are using a net to keep them held in place. The party is being attacked by 2d4+2 goblins with long bows. They are being shot at from a distance. If a party member is hit by an arrow and dies, the rest of the party will have to run away, making the goblins chase after them into the woods. They are firing at what they believe to be the leader of the party. The leader of the goblin group is a halfling sized goblinoid. He is mainly wearing studded leather armor and is dual wielding a short sword and a quarter staff. He is riding on a giant wolf, which he has tamed using magic.

D10=2:A twisting spire of rock, whimsically shaped like a spiraled seashell, glows with arcane energy. At its pinnacle, 1d4 dream sorcerers hold court, manipulating reality with their eldritch magic. The sorcerers demand tribute: dreams and memories of the players that can alter their fates. Engaging with these enigmatic figures provides incredible but fleeting power and opens a gateway to an ethereal dreamscape beyond the material world.

D10=8:Fungal blooms splay over secrets deeply buried here. Awakening 2d8 sporewalkers guarding these pheromone-laden patches shows pathways honor-keeping covens once traveled. This walk heralds pre-communion meetings masked under fogs.

They are also carrying small backpacks with a few rations in them.

D10=6:The party comes across a group of gnomes tinkering with a strange contraption. They claim it is a machine that can turn rocks into valuable gems, but it seems to be malfunctioning. Fun fact: it actually turns rocks into explosive rocks.
